Sony Officially Buys Crunchyroll For $US1.15 Billion – Kotaku Australia
Sony has just upped their anime stocks massively, announcing a $US1.15 billion cash buyout for the Crunchyroll anime streaming service.
Here’s a big shoe to drop just before 2020 ends. Sony already owned one of the world’s largest caches of anime streaming. And after buying Crunchyroll for $US1.15 billion, Sony just became a huge fish in an increasingly small pond.
AT&T officially announced the sale of Crunchyroll to Funimation Global Group Thursday morning Australian time, bringing Crunchyroll into the same business unit that owns Madman and Madman’s Australian anime streaming service, AnimeLab.
